Looks like Mitt Romney needs to step up his outreach to Hispanic voters. A new Fox News Latino poll shows President Obama with a 30-point lead among Hispanics. The poll also shows that 65 percent of the 887 likely voters surveyed said they approved of Obama’s job performance.

The economy was the top issue for 48 percent of respondents, while only 6 percent said immigration was a deciding factor for their support.

In a close election, Hispanic voters could be critical to the presidential aspirations of both candidates, particularly in several key swing states.

In 2008 Obama got 67 percent of the Hispanic vote against GOP presidential nominee John McCain.
